So far this year 450 bombs.But we should count the last one as a bunch more than just one right?
In 2016, the United States dropped 26,171 bombs.
If Trump is going to step up the game from last year -- he will have to increase the pace.
Did you all know we dropped that many bombs last year.
No need to pick up the pace by dropping more bombs.
Drop them when and where it counts, fewer bombs needed.
Remember when obama would warn isis of pending bombing raids?
So Obama drops leaflets to let civilian oil truck drivers know they are going to drop bombs. The civilian drivers go to their isis handlers and say, 'i have a headache, can't drive tonight'. Isis handler says, no problem, We will murder your family if you don't drive tonight"
Or
Wink, wink, obama will drop bombs at this place and time....okay let's change up the schedule.
We have gone from a partner of ISIS in Obama to a serious leader who does not telegraph his punches or draw invisible red lines. No longer are bombs dropped for theatrics, Trump is kicking ace.
Remember when josh earnest told us the world is a more tranquil place because of obama's policies??
We had far more powerful. Moab is a firecracker in comparison to this. And this particular shell is a pin prick to what the developed in the 1950s & 1960s.
Truman, LBJ, & Kennedy were too scared to use them.

We are invaders in their country, what exactly did they do to us?
It makes me wonder why prior Presidents (both Bush and Obama) sat on this stuff. Didn't Bin Laden escape when he was in Afghan tunnels. A few MOAB's could have been effective. Living in caves should not be a solution for terrorists to hide from the U.S.
Many will applaud this, but the MOAB has killed a lot more civilians than ISIS fighters. Further Daesh in Afghanistan =/= Daesh in Iraq/Syria. They're a small splinter group of the Taliban that broke off because they were disgruntled and most of their top leadership has been killed in drone strikes.
I just don't see a lot of benefit to dropping this bomb from any perspective. A lot of innocent people died today and those innocent people have long extended families whom may have been civilians before but may very well turn in to combatants now.
Stop this recruiting nonsense. Who recruited the 9/11 hijackers? We were not in Iraq, or Afghanistan and there was no Gitmo or Abu Graib. There's always something to get excited about.
ISIS and Al Qaeda are not countries. They have infiltrated many areas of the Middle East.
By the way, we've been involved in that region for a long time, well before 9/11. You've heard of the Gulf War, right? Actually, we had American troops in Iran in WWII, but I'm not going to post about decades of U.S. involvement in that region.
Why do you think there were 63 American hostages held in Iran? It wasn't because the students felt like kidnapping American citizens, it was because we sided with the Shah. I'm not sure how old you are, but I remember seeing the Ayatollah Khomeini speaking out against the U.S. and his followers burning the American flag while hanging Jimmy Carter in effigy and chanting death to America.

I think it is pretty simple so far as arabs and muslims go. Either we kill them or they will kill us. Kind of the same with the fat boy in N Korea. Trump just missed his chance to use another moabs to solve the Korea problem.

You advocating killing the 1.6 billion Muslims on this planet?
